EQ2 Logcleaner

What is EQ2 Logcleaner?

EQ2 Logcleaner is an filter for your Everquest II log files.
It strips out the numeric date and all link information and copies
the text to a new file. It will filter on chat type and on date
and time. It has the option to set your favourite viewer or text
editor and to open the resulting file.

What does EQ2 Logcleaner do for me?

Have you ever wanted to post a group or tell conversation to a forum
or mail it to a friend? EQ2 Logcleaner will filter out all the other
conversations and battlespam, leaving you just what you need.

Do you want to see what you sold and at what price? Simply tick the
Sales box and you will get a list of all your broker
transactions.

Under the File menu, click Set Viewer and navigate to your
preferred text viewer or text editor. The default is Notepad but I
recommend changing this as Notepad copes very badly with large files.
Personally I use
gvim
which can load a 300 Mb file in about 6 seconds. Having set the
viewer, File -> View File will display it or,
even easier, click on the link near the bottom of the form.

You may wish to see everything but if you are looking for something
specific, you can narrow it down to a specific time period. Who was it
who was selling masters in the tradeskill channel yesterday? Set
your start and end date and tick channels and you will have a minimal
amount of data to look through.

Finally, you can search on key words. If the Keywords
box is ticked, only lines containing the words chosen will be
output.

Starting with version 1.1, you can select Raidmembers and Loot. The
former will include the output from a /whoraid command, the latter will
show loot drops. The Loot option includes both guild messages and those
produced by the Extended Chat Window Output.

Where can I get EQ2 Logcleaner?

The installer checks that you
have .NET version 2.0 installed and, if not, it will download it from
Microsoft's site. It will then install Logcleaner.exe. It makes use of
Microsoft's new ClickOnce technology and will appear in your Start
Menu under May.BE -> EQ2Logcleaner.

Every time you run the
program, it will check this server for updates and install the latest
version. No information is uploaded to the server.

The current version is 1.2.0.0 and so
I suppose it can be considered to be out of beta. I
would be very grateful for any feedback you may have. Expect to see
new features being added as time goes on.

Where does EQ2 Logcleaner store my personal data?

The only data stored is in the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER
-> Software -> May.BE -> Logcleaner. Only your last-used
options are stored so that they become your default settings for next
time you run the program. No information is sent onto the Internet.
